„A German government quality control agency and a private certification agency that works with it both violated EU sanctions and the federal agency’s policy by providing certificates to Iranian banks, constructions companies and energy firms, a joint investigation by The Jerusalem Post and the Federal Republic’s largest daily, Bild, reveals. The quality control certificates make it easier for the Iranian firms to conduct business, because of Germany’s reputation for high industrial standards. The violations occurred between late October 2012 and January 2016, when the Iran nuclear agreement was implemented.“
